the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Ports an OpenWRT patch for Atheros wireless drivers (ath*) which allows
the user to change the regulatory domain code to the one which actually
applies.
All Atheros devices have a regulatory domain burned into their EEPROM.
When using a device as AP, this domain is frequently overly restrictive
when compared to the regulation which applies in the country the device
actually operates in; often, this restriction disallows IR on all
channels making it impossible to use the device as an AP at all.
This commit introduces the NixOS config option
networking.wireless.athUserRegulatoryDomain which, if enabled, applies
the patch and sets the kernel config option ATH_USER_REGD.
The original OpenWRT patch targets Linux 5.8.
